TALTARNI BLUE (5) will take beating coming off a strong 24.05 win at this track over 425m. In winning form and can measure up again. HIGH COTTON (3) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame at his last four runs, the latest finishing second (24.31) at this track. Form at the trip sound including two wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Must be included in calculations. ZIPPING SMEE (1) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when third (25.62) in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. ASTON BOREALIS (2) will give backers a sight.

Was out of placings last time (26.29) at Warragul in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Missed the frame latest (23.43) when sixth over 400m at Geelong in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (24.31) over 425m at this track. Still to win from this draw but has been in the placings eight times. Top chance.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing third (24.38) at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Prefer others.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 6 length winner (24.05) over 425m at this track. Can make it two on the bounce.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (22.50) at Warrnambool over 390m. Has ability and worth including.
